By all means, let the rehabilitation commence..."Khadr was finally allowed onto the range in February. In March, prison authorities asked him to work on the food line, handing out pieces of butter to other prisoners."Wow... it's almost like breaking rocks on a chain gang.
Not surprisingly, the article skips over what it terms the "negative influence from his family", nudge, nudge, wink, wink... "some of whom expressed sympathy for extremist groups several years ago."
Extremist groups, huh? Don't you dare use the "T" word... wouldn't wanna hurt anybody's feelings.
Let's also not forget that some of Omar's family were shot dead by counter-terror operatives for engaging in these "negative" activities. Or that one of his brothers is availing himself (presumably for the rest of his life) of the Canadian healthcare system after being wounded in the same gunfight.

Imagine if you will: teenaged white kids are caught up in some skinhead group. Their parents are neo-nazis as well. Dad and the boys head out to Zimbabwe to fight Mugabe. Dad is killed, and the boyos are wounded and captured.Don't blame me... I voted Conservative.
How many Toronto Star editorials would be written to get the kids back to Canada?

LAST WORD: Who exactly pays for this?
Edney negotiated to have Khadr transferred to Edmonton, where a group of professors with Kings University College have worked for years to educate Khadr on a correspondence basis.Omar Khadr killed a US Special Forces medic in a firefight... now he says he's gonna be a doctor. I wanna see Justin Trudeau and his ilk pull out their chequebooks for Omie's medical school tuition.
He said his client wants to be a doctor “when he grows up.”
